...attended both high school and university in the United States and abroad. I can attest to the grade inflation here; the exact same A- paper at Harvard received a 69 percent at a university overseas. I worked extremely hard on the paper, which is why I was rewarded with an A-. The professor at the institution abroad told me my paper was unoriginal and boring...

...although we may be opening a Pandora's Box of sorts by attempting to determine the exact nature of what makes each individual a human, there are many ways in which humanity can benefit from the project.

One can read the entire book and still be confused as to the exact definition of "Chekovian Christian." But Horowitz's criticism barely skims the surface of either West or his book, focusing entirely on style and presentation and utterly ignoring content and meaning. Ultimately, Horowitz seems to be using West as a vehicle to make his attack on the university system in general, when...
